H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Back in 2016, manga creator Gou Tanabe adapted Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, one of the most infamous stories by the author. This has been available in two volumes for a while, but for a better option, you can pick up a new hardcover deluxe edition of the manga published by Dark Horse on July 9. Plus, it's on sale for a steep discount..."

Gou Tanabe is a great artist. I suggest everyone to buy this gem. You can also watch an animated version of the story with the full novel used as narration on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW_G7cGxCWY

Nice one! 4 hours is way too long, but the channel also has a serialized version in episodes. So, I'll take my time.

Also i find this comment which was just too good to leave alone:
